There’s no doubt that we all love a multi-use product, and any time-saving beauty hacks are always welcomed with open arms. However, when it comes to maintaining clear and healthy skin, there are those non-negotiable steps that you definitely shouldn’t skimp on.

When a blemish appears, our instinct is usually to cover it up with makeup, rather than getting to the cause of why it appeared in the first place. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that makeup often holds a higher priority in our morning routine.

Now—thanks to a growing number of clever cosmetics companies—you can cover up your blemishes with makeup that actually benefits skin. (They’ve obviously cottoned on to our time-poor lifestyles and demand for products that do more.) There are plenty of products that tick both the skincare and makeup boxes, such as concealers that provide both coverage and anti-ageing, or an illuminator that will also work to hydrate your skin.

This concealer is full of skin-benefiting ingredients, including hydrolyzed collagen, niacin and hyaluronic acid, which all work to minimise the appearance of fine lines, as well as brightening the eye area.

Contrary to most illuminating products, these drops include coconut, jojoba oil, and vitamin E in their formula to hydrate and nourish the skin. To experience maximum skincare benefits, mix the drops in with your foundation or wear the product on its own.
